[edit] Campus
A dispute over the removal of books from the high school library led eventually to the United States Supreme Court, where a fractured court ruled in Island Trees School District v. Pico that the school board had no power to remove the books.
In the summer of 2008, the High School was testing for possible lead contamination. According to Newsday, the school spent $141,000 to do the testing, which continued through the end of September.
